Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Brian Jacques' superb Redwall series truly captures the finest in storytelling tradition and combines it with the ultimate in upbeat, catch-your-breath adventure. Mossflower, A Tale of Redwall, tells the story of Martin the Warrior, who finds himself trespassing on the land of Verdagua, King of a Thousand Eyes, as he lays sick and near dying and trying to make a decision on who should replace him as ruler of Mossflower Country. As Martin becomes embroiled in the battle against the evil and ruthless daughter of Verdagua, Tsarmina, alongside his new-found friend and fellow prisoner Gonff, a bloody fight between good and evil ensues.

Stunning landscapes, brilliant characterisation, masterly plots and a wicked sense of humour unite in this epic, page-turningingly breathless tale of derring-do and the triumph of good over evil, making it one of the most addictive and memorable books that anyone is ever likely to read. (Ages 9 and over) --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
This work is the second thrilling "Redwall" adventure. This is the story of Martin, the Warrior and legendary founder of Redwall Abbey. When Verduaga Greeneyes, king of the wildcats, becomes tyrant ruler over the creatures of Mossflower, the wood landers begin a life of serfdom and cruelty. But then, one winter afternoon, a young mouse called Martin chances by the woods - bringing with him an indomitable spirit of adventure and will for freedom...

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath-taking!, 3 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mossflower (Red Fox older fiction) (Paperback)
Well, 'Mossflower' by Brian Jacques, where shall I start? The novel begins with the explanations of Martin the Warrior's imprisonment for straying into wildcat territory in Mossflower wood. It also introduces Gonff the mousethief, who provides much of the humour throughout the epic tale with a character named Dinny, a fine digging mole.
The wildcat King Verdauga dies and is succeeded by his daughter Tsarmina in less than honest circumstances. The story moves along swiftly with so much happening constantly.
Full of surprises and cliffhangers, 'Mossflower' is surely one of the best books I have ever encountered. The evil character of Tsarmina is always opposed by the honest, kind woodlanders always searching for their freedom. From a distance, it may sound like a good-versus-evil children's book, but it is so much more than that. Full of bloodthirsty battles, murders and thrilling encounters with other creatures, 'Mossflower' is wonderful.
The best part of the book must be the journey Martin and his friends take from Mossflower to Salamandastron and the animals and messes they encounter. The journey back to Mossflower is equally stunning and the climax is literature of the highest standard.
'Mossflower' retains some of the mystery and riddle surrounding 'Redwall', the series' first novel but there is much more action in this book and the female villian of Tsarmina is well-written. All in all, 'Mossflower' turns out to be a better book than 'Redwall'.
The Salamandastron legend of 'Mossflower' pushes you on to want to read more and I certainly do.
Right, off I am to read 'Mattimeo' now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Remains with You, 17 Mar 2004
This review is from: Mossflower (Red Fox older fiction) (Paperback)
I read this book when I was 12, just over 10 years ago, and it stayed with me to the extend that I deliberately came to Amazon today to write that! It was the book that triggered my love of reading, and reading Gormenghast this week, I noted similarities between this very adult book, and the themes Brian Jaques covered in his children's books. A must read for the 9-14 age group!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book from start to finish!, 26 Mar 2003
By P. Morris "Ebony Phoenix" (Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mossflower (Red Fox older fiction) (Paperback)
I first read this book when I was 17 and it had me hooked from start to finish I couldn't put it down. Now I'm almost 24 I'd still rate this and the remainder of the Redwall series as amongst some of my favorite stories.
Brian Jacques has that rare ability to steal you away into his story as is the mark of all great authors. I highly reccomend this book to readers of ALL ages as I'm sure just like me you will find yourself coming back to it time after time after time, believe me the door to Redwall abbey is always open for friends.
